Doesn't this have a problem that there are three 
separate options, but you really want to choose
one out of three possible choices?

That is, it could be confusing because if you check:
  Make new citizens workers:     no
  Make new citizens scientists:  yes
  Make new citizens taxmen:      yes
Then you might expect that you'll get both scientists
and taxmen, but really you only get scientists.

I'm not sure how best to do this better.  Possibly
have a differnt toggle callback which toggles off the
other buttons of that set of three.  Although that's
still a bit clumsy, because the user only finds out by 
trial and error that they are really radio buttons and 
not toggles.
